填空（请用鼠标左键选择空白处）: |
迦南妇人没有被主的话激怒，反倒承认自己是外邦的（狗）。她认为基督既被儿女犹太人弃绝，就成了桌子下的（碎渣），作了外邦人的分。以色列人的圣地是（桌子），其上有基督这属天的（饼），作（以色列）子民的分；但他们把祂扔到桌子下，落在地上，就是（外邦人）之地，因此主成了碎渣，作了外邦人的（分）。当时这外邦妇人有这样的领悟，真是了不起！难怪属天的王称赞她的（信心）。（参太十五27注1）

Filling the Blanks
(Please
double-click the blanks): |
The Canaanite woman, not offended by the Lord's word but
admitting that she was a heathen (dog),
considered that at that time Christ, after being rejected by the
children, the Jews, became (crumbs)
under the table as a portion to the Gentiles. The holy land of
Israel was the (table)
on which Christ, the heavenly (bread),
had come as a portion to the children of (Israel).
But they threw Him off the table to the ground, the (Gentile)
land, so that He became broken crumbs as a (portion)
to the Gentiles. What a realization this Gentile woman had at
that time! No wonder the heavenly King admired her (faith).
(See
Matt. 15:27 note 1)
